<p>[QUOTE="Joe2007, post: 1801867, member: 44034"]I think that you need to get off eBay so that you don't make as many spur of the moment purchases just trying to get a deal on something that you didn't know you needed prior to seeing it offered online. If you have make the effort to carve time out of your schedule to drive to a coin shop or a finding a coin show that might be effective in limiting your spending somewhat. Also you need to create a rigid budget for your hobby and set money specifically aside for that. Pay for your purchases in cash and not by credit card so that you cannot spend what you don't have. I'm currently in college so I can relate to your situation. Try to get a part time job related to your major (Even if it is basic clerical work. Working alongside around the professionals in your field is invaluable and will serve you well making connections) so that you can get practical experience as well as a little spending money for your hobby.</p><p> </p><p>Sincerely,</p><p>Joe[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
